“It took us six months with trucks and the equipment of today and they did it without these things,” he said. “It amazes me how they lifted up the logs by hand.” The structure is 30-feet-wide and 16-feet high at the peak. It may be ancient technology but digging into the earth and covering the pit with timbers is extremely practical. “They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer,” said Phillip. It’s expected the pit house will become a critical aspect of the Vernon School District’s curriculum. “We’re very proud to be part of it,” said Bill Turanski, school district chairperson. “This is a symbol of what can be accomplished in an environment of mutual understanding and respect.” Among those exploring the pit house Wednesday was Jackson Appleby, a Grade 4 student who travelled by bus from J.W. Inglis Elementary in Lumby. “It’s so big,” he said as he craned his neck upwards, trying to take in the full scope of the ladder carved out of a log. “It’s so cool that they built this.” Reactions like that are exactly what Byron Louis wants to hear. “It’s a place of learning,” said the chief of the Okanagan Indian Band. For Bill Cohen, construction of the pit house is about respect and tolerance. “We’re here to celebrate Okanagan knowledge and new relations,” said Cohen, a band councillor and co-chairperson of the school district’s aboriginal education committee. “It’s a place that’s welcoming and celebrates the diversity of everyone here.” Beyond creating awareness among non-natives, the goal of the pit house is to introduce Okanagan youth to their deep, rich culture — something generations of children had been forced or urged to

News Taxpayers served $5,000 liquor fine
RINGER
RICHARD ROLKE
“The event was well run but there were contraventions�
Morning Star Staff
JOSÉ LAROCHELLE/MORNING STAR
Vernon Horseshoe Club member Sheldon Wessell competes in the annual tournament at the Alexis Park Drive clubhouse. The club invites anyone interested in the sport to drop by the clubhouse Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
Liquor infractions mean the taps could run dry at Wesbild Centre and taxpayers are out $5,000. The Regional District of North Okanagan has been handed a $5,000 fine and a 10-day suspension of its liquor license because of three contraventions during a Halloween event Oct. 29. “We are taking this situation very seriously,� said Patrick Nicol, chairperson. “We’ve been up front. We made a mistake and we’re correcting that.� The three contraventions were: ■Allowing consumption beyond the time permitted. ■Failing to clear patrons by time required. ■Liquor present that was not purchased and served by licensee. RDNO’s license with the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch permits alcohol to be served from 10 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. Apparently, there was consumption of alcohol and patrons were not cleared beyond the midnight deadline. Terms of the penalty were determined June 6. “The fine has to be paid by July 6 and a cheque has been issued,� said Nicol. Wesbild was rented out by a third party Oct. 29 but it was RDNO’s license being used and the facility contractor, the City of Vernon, was responsible for the serving of alcohol. “The Liquor Control Branch says the event was well run but there were contraventions,� said Nicol.
— Patrick Nicol The notice of infraction will be displayed prominently within Wesbild Centre. “There is no indication as to when the suspension will apply — if it will be active days or non-active days,� said Nicol. Nicol is concerned the license suspension could affect facility bookings or Vernon Vipers games. “The regional district and the Liquor Control Branch have really co-operated and I would hope no community organizations are impacted detrimentally by this,� he said. As a result of the incident, the regional district will clarify the serving of alcohol in contracts with the facility operator. “This is going to result in a serious assessment on whether we continue with a liquor license there and how to maintain it,� said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor and a RDNO director. He isn’t convinced RDNO letting its liquor license lapse could hurt bookings at Wesbild. “One way to possibly handle it is that the renter could apply to have their own license,� he said, adding that would remove responsibilities from the district.
Flood waters put all Enderby residents on notice Morning Star Staff
There is the possibility that some residents on low-lying properties may have to leave their homes because of the rising Shuswap River. A flood advisory has been issued to all residents of Enderby and the evacuation alert is for the following areas: â– All low-lying properties subject to potential flooding along the Shuswap River flowing south and west from Sugar Lake to Mabel Lake. â– All low-lying properties along the Shuswap River flowing west
and north from Mabel Lake to Mara Lake. Residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation. However, you may receive limited notice due to changing conditions. More rain is forecast for the weekend, which could again lead to a rise in the river. “They’re expecting river levels to be what they were in 1997,� said Gord Molendyk, emergency operations centre information officer. The additional rain may also
impact other Enderby residents. “Many of the low-lying storm drains are near capacity and this could impact areas of the city that aren’t normally impacted by flooding,� said Molendyk. Therefore all residents are urged to protect their properties and livestock and are reminded that sandbags are available at: City of Enderby public works yard and in Grindrod at Crandlemire and Foxwood roads. The river levels in Enderby have also forced some residents under a boil water notice.
Only customers located east of the Enderby Bridge to Rosoman Road are affected by the alert. It does not apply to customers west of the bridge. Due to elevated river levels and anticipated further rises, the city water system serving customers east of Enderby Bridge to Rosoman Road is unable to adequately disinfect water. For customer safety, all users within the affected area are required to boil their drinking water prior to consumption.

Adjournment in Foerster matter ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press
The man accused of killing Armstrong teen Taylor Van Diest in October 2011 has had his case adjourned until next month to give lawyers for both the Crown and the defence time to go over a series of case-related reports. Matthew Foerster made a brief appearance in Kelowna court via video link Thursday morning from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Surrey where he is being held. The case will return to court July 5 in Kelowna. The 26-year-old has been charged with firstdegree murder in relation to Van Diest’s death. Van Diest, 18, was found severely injured laying in bushes near the Rosedale Avenue railroad tracks that run through Armstrong on Halloween night. She died a short time later in hospital. Foerster is also facing charges in two unrelated assault cases. Foerster’s father, 58-year-old Stephen Roy Foerster, has been charged with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact in the Van Diest case.

perhaps punches being thrown. “The police became involved and my understanding is that they are looking at charges being laid against a parent.” Clark, also head coach of the junior B Kamloops Venom of the Thompson Okanagan Lacrosse League, and the parent — whose child plays for the peewee Rattlers, which has players ages 11 and 12 — were interviewed by police in Armstrong on Friday. “The parent was released and is expected to appear in court,” Molendyk said. The B.C. Lacrosse Association (BCLA) has suspended Clark pending an internal investigation. “B.C. Lacrosse’s coaching association is responsible for the investigation,” said
BCLA vice-president Ron McQuarrie, noting a three-person panel was to conduct a hearing Wednesday or Thursday. McQuarrie said Clark’s actions were out of character. “I’ve known Doug for many years,” McQuarrie said. “Doug is a tremendous person. It’s unfortunate Doug was involved in this. This was a disturbing incident.” A witness told The Morning Star a parent became upset after a child was hit in the throat with a stick. It is believed the parent wanted Clark to question the referee as to why a penalty was not called. The parent’s name has not been released by RCMP, as charges have not yet been laid.

Development draws late opposition ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
They’re not opposed to the actual development, they’re just not happy with the site. A group of concerned Armstrong businesspeople are hoping to convince city council to postpone final reading on a planned development for Highway 97A and Harding Road. Kelowna-based Emil Anderson Construction has made an application to council to amend the official community plan and rezone a portion of a 4.88 hectare lot at Highway 97A and Harding Road to create a new 1.08 hectare highway and tourist commercial lot. In March, Emil Anderson Construction general manager of land development, Greg Aslin, presented its plan to council, calling for a commercial development in the corner of the proposed lot, 63 housing units and the potential for a hotel or motel. “I’ve been in business for 37 years and what piqued my interest about this (development),is that when the Country Court Mall opened, it had a fairly significant effect on the town of Armstrong,” said Dwight Johnson, who owns the Village Cheese Company and Armstrong Pharmacy, at a meeting Wednesday on the development at the Armstrong Inn. “As soon as I heard about this proposal, I thought it could be a blow to the historic downtown.”
The plan went to public hearing, of which a handful of people attended, but there was nobody from the business sector at the hearing, according to Johnson. Armstrong council unanimously gave third reading to the bylaw zoning application. A fourth reading is needed before it can be officially passed. Johnson chaired Wednesday’s meeting, which brought together about 25 people, many from the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce by invitation. The sentiment expressed by many at the meeting was that they weren’t opposed to the development, they’d just like to see the commercial aspect in the downtown core, and not sprawl to the outskirts. “I’m not against businesses coming to town, just the position of it on the outer edge of town,” said Bill Richards, who co-owns the Armstrong Inn. “It’s making a third commercial area and will encourage people to drive by Armstrong and not come to town. Once they come off the highway, other businesses have the potential to encourage that person to stop. “If they go by, we have no chance to access their wallet.” Special guest speaker at Wednesday’s meeting was Bill Remphrey of Salmon Arm, a retired university professor who talked about Smart Growth principles of which there are
10 main ones. At the top of the list is mixing land uses. “Each neighbourhood has a mixture of homes, retail, business, and recreational opportunities,” said Remphrey, who said a new commercial entity in Armstrong’s downtown core would bring people to downtown and keep them there. A presentation was made to the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce at their regular meeting Thursday on the plan. A petition has been circulated asking council to reconsider the application and to reopen the process. A delegation opposed to the development will make a presentation at Monday’s Armstrong council meeting.

I
had the privilege of interviewing French immersion students the other day, all of whom took part in the Concours d’art oratoire. The French public speaking competition is open to students across Canada and in Vernon, students from Beairsto, Harwood and Seaton took part. I’m in awe of these kids who are learning a second language or, in some cases, third and fourth language, and the ease with which they converse in French. Katherine Mortimer At one point, I figured I’d take to bilingualism with ease. I studied French from Grade 8 to 12, and into first-year university. Mind you, in Grade 12 my French teacher wrote, “I doubt if Katherine will ever learn to speak French,” which may have had more to do with my penchant for chatting with my friends — in English — and less than a lack of ability in the language. I somehow managed, while travelling through France as a young adult, to get by. I was able to get what I needed in shops and restaurants, whether in small villages or big cities. Of course, there was the time I was accused of pretending I didn’t understand when the usher at the Paris Opera seated us. I had no idea I was supposed to tip her, and she did not take kindly to my ignorance. Let’s just say that my enjoyment of Swan Lake was somewhat marred by the usher’s rudeness. Before travelling to China, I listened endlessly to a Mandarin language CD in the car and by the time we arrived, I could manage a few phrases of this very difficult language: hello, how are you, thank you, good-bye, and the all important, “I don’t speak Mandarin.” Of course, usually when I said that, people assumed that I did indeed speak Mandarin and
AT RANDOM
would proceed to converse with me. I found the people in China absolutely delighted with my pathetic efforts to speak their language, although I was mocked slightly by the barista at Starbucks in the Beijing airport for my pronunciation of goodbye, zài jiàn. (For the record, I did not touch western food while in China, but still had to have my coffee.) When we were kids, we travelled on sabbatical through Europe. While in a restaurant in Orléans, France, my dad was sick of his kids whining about what they did and didn’t like — I was 12, my sister 10 and my brother 17 and with slightly more sophisticated tastes — that he decided he would do the ordering for all of us. His French was not spectacular, but he tried. He pointed to a few things on the menu and declared, “We’ll have five of these.” “These,” unfortunately turned out to be cervelles. In French, that sounds lovely and romantic. In English, it’s calf ’s brains. And while I will eat virtually anything now, as a pre-teen there’s no way I was going to touch brains, which looked exactly like brains on the plate. Needless to say, my dad was not impressed. But connoisseur of offal that he has always been, he tucked in with gusto. My sister and I enjoyed a meal of pommes frites. Yes, French fries. Mind you, there is nothing like potatoes that have been twice-fried in duck fat. Now, with my daughter in French immersion, I’m dredging up my very rusty French. As she’s only in Grade 2, my language skills are such that I’m able to help with her reading and can usually understand what the teacher is saying to the kids in class, although actually speaking French is another story. But it won’t be long before she will have surpassed me, and I look forward to her teaching me what she knows. Plus if we ever get the chance to return to France, there’s no danger she will order some kind of mystery meat.
Wednesday’s ceremony on the Okanagan Indian Reserve is a clear indication of how far we have come as a society and a community. Aboriginals and non-aboriginals, elders and children, came together to mark the construction of a traditional Okanagan pit house, the first built in 200 years. “This is a symbol of what can be accomplished in an environment of mutual understanding and respect,” said Bill Turanski, chairperson of the Vernon School District, which participated in the project with the Okanagan Indian Band and the First Nations Friendship Centre. The simple fact that educators and First Nations leaders came together is an accomplishment in itself, particularly given the sad history of residential schools and the distrust many natives had for the education system as a result. There was a time when those of us in the non-native community didn’t want to know about First Nations neighbours. There wasn’t an acceptance of a distinct culture that existed long before our ancestors arrived in the Okanagan. Much is often said about how aboriginals have suffered from previous government policies that separated them from their language and traditions. But we in the broader community have also lost. We have been ignorant of the richness around us. While challenges still exist for First Nations, including poverty, unemployment and substance abuse, the co-operation of the pit house provides all of us with optimism. With all of us at the table and a mutual respect for each other, we can roll up our sleeves and constructively find a solution to those problems.

Councillor responds to editorial
J
ust a quick explanation that should go along with the June 8 Morning Star editorial and article entitled; BX rep. defends compensation, and Director’s comments are off base. Yes it is very good to have figures reported, and scrutiny given to politician’s wages and expenses in the newspaper, however, giving these figures with no attempt to give context and background to the story, is unfair. What constitutes “remuneration”? What constitutes “expenses”? What are the differences between “Electoral Area Directors” (EA) and “Municipal Politicians”? What is the role of an EA at the Regional District? Director Macnabb is the RDNO Director for Electoral Area ‘C’ (BX – Silver Star). Electoral Area Directors (EA’s) do not have the benefit of sharing the workload with other councillors, they may have an alternate director, but for the most part they are a one-man (or woman) show. Electoral Areas are unincorporated areas with vast TOPIC SPARKS PASSION I would like to take this opportunity to clarify and expand on my quoted comments in the June 13, edition of The Morning Star regarding the proposed Parking Strategy Implementation. Am I pleased about the proposed increase to $1 per hour on 30th Ave? No. Am I pleased with the direction council has taken? A resounding Yes! I do strongly feel council and city staff have listened to the DVA on this issue. We will see the formation of a Parking Advisory Committee and council has directed that committee to address the proposed rate increase there. Additional revenue collected is to go towards improved parking. The formation of a Parking Advisory Committee clearly indicates that parking has finally become an important enough issue to actually move forward, to address concerns now and in

geographic expanse so often times a lot of travel is necessary. As far as I can tell the ‘Base Remuneration’ for an EA is approx. $22,000 and then they get compensated an extra sum if they are the chair of any board committees. What constitutes most of the expenses for EA’s is; travel, accommodation, and conference fees, that are an essential part of the orientation, learning, and networking necessary for them to do a good job. To take away the incentive to go to conferences by scrutinizing the dollars so closely, and implying that these ‘expenses’ are frivolous, without analyzing what was gained in return, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. At the Regional District of the North Okanagan there is a ‘Board’ made up of 13 directors, eight directors are selected from the elected municipal governments, and five from the electoral areas. Municipal councils in the North Okanagan generally have a seven-member council to share the workload (including the mayor). The mayor(s) select their respecthe future. Our community is still spread out, with the majority of our downtown shoppers and our employees still traveling to the core by vehicle. That is our reality. Keeping the current time frames on 30th Ave. and improving the parkade are also items to be pleased with. Having a parking committee will definitely allow us to address numerous strategies, the actual Parking Consultants report has more than 50 recommendations. We will now have a venue in which to do analysis on the recommendations. We will also have an opportunity to address the "net loss" of parking in the downtown core, we might be able to at the very least maintain what we have, that would be pleasing. I thank the numerous members of the public who took the time to contact me on this topic. I will keep your comments on file. It appears that parking is a topic that

tive directors to sit on the RDNO Board; three directors are from Vernon, and one from each municipal government of; Coldstream, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby, and Lumby. The remaining directors are one from each of the electoral areas; B, C, D, E and F. The mayor and councillors selected to sit on the RDNO Board already receive a remuneration from the respective community, and the compensation they receive from RDNO to sit as a director is in addition to their other remuneration. For the electoral area direcoften sparks passion, and yes, I'm pleased that many of your comments translate to your passion and support for the downtown. Ruth Hoyte, president, Downtown Vernon Association CO-EXISTING IN PARK In response to letters by Phil McGrew and Sharon Lawrence: Cyclists in Kal Park don't bother me. They don't pollute, are usually polite, and don't have motors. However the powerboats that park in Cosens Bay beach have large motors, are polluting and sometimes rude. Having motorboats in the park is like having dirt bikes and quads on the trails. After hiking the 3.7 km trail to Cosens Bay one is met with a party of powerboats on shore and jetskis zooming around in the bay. A hike out to Rattlesnake Point gains you more motorboats speed-
and media to drum out politicians with the highest ‘expenses’ each year. This is done without any comparison of the effort, efficiency, and time invested by various politicians. It becomes a destructive, senseless exercise, which results in the loss of the most hardworking politicians. The meager savings from lower expenses are quickly lost to missed opportunities in grants, contacts, and knowledge base, this does a great disservice to taxpayers in the long run! Director Macnabb is a true asset to the regional district board, and particularly as a professional engineer, the taxpayers are getting him at a true bargain price. What the press needs to tell the taxpayers, is that because Director Macnabb goes to conferences and meetings he is informed, and interested in the work, and he does a very good job for the taxpayers. Mr. Macnabb’s defensive response is not “off base,” but the sensational attack, is! Maria Besso Coldstream councillor
tors, like Mike Macnabb, this remuneration is all they get. Yes it is a good thing to ask politicians to try to keep costs down, so ask for a cheaper hotel room, or carpool to the conference, but should you forgo the conference altogether? As many politicians have defensively offered, “the networking value and professional development value of attending a well planned and organized conference is priceless.” The politician’s frustrations come from being confronted with this constant unrelenting effort on the part of taxpayer associations ing around just off shore, music blaring. Swimming around the point can be terrifying. The only truly sandy beach (between Jade and Juniper) also harbours motorboats. While canoes and kayaks are like hikers and cyclists, motorboats are like dirt bikes and quads. Please can we move the buoys further off shore and prevent boats from parking all over the park beaches. In the same way that cars have to park in the parking lot, boats could moor at a dock in a convenient place to provide access to anyone one who would like to come ashore and enjoy this beautiful park. Motorized vehicles are what we try to get away from when we hike and bike and paddle in the park. With some respect and cooperation we can all co-exist. Molly March

Directors push meat regulations with minister RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Frustration over provincial meat regulations and the impact on farmers is boiling over.
Regional District of North Okanagan directors are demanding a meeting with Health Minister Michael de Jong in Kelowna
Tuesday over the lack of licenses to process meat since provincial rules came into place in 2007. “We need to do this immediately,” said Patrick Nicol, board chairperson. “There are 300 farmers or more adversely impacted by this.”
N i c o l , directors Rick Fairbairn and Janice Brown and two farmers will be part of the official delegation. R D N O wants the Ministry of Health and

In a related matter, the regional district board will provide $5,900 to the Food Action Society. The society will use the money to update its local food directory and to produce a printable version. There is also the possibility of a summer student being hired to promote the directory to the public.

A class E licence allows for the slaughter of up to 10 animal units. There has been previous suggestions that such licenses could be issued to North Okanagan farmers but that has never occurred.

Teachers take to street in protest Morning Star Staff
Teachers insist it’s time for the government to negotiate a contract. Members of the Vernon Teachers Association rallied along 32nd Street and 25th Avenue Wednesday to oppose the province imposing a settlement. “We are tired of broken promises,
stonewalling by the employer, attacks by the employer, a mediator with a one-sided mandate and a never-ending stream of legislation,” said Bruce Cummings, VTA president. Cummings says while teachers are doing their best to negotiate with the employer, the government-appointed mediator plans

to stop the process and present a report to government by June 30. “The crisis we have in B.C. is created by our government floundering in the polls,” he said. “They are bankrupt in ideas, they lack vision, they won’t listen to reason and they believe that might makes right.”

Help your visitors travel worry-free. With the summer vacation season drawing near, some of us will be hosting family and friends from abroad and looking to make their stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. There are a number of things you can do to take good care of your guests, like ensuring they are properly covered in case they need medical attention during their visit. Before they arrive, discuss the importance of having travel insurance protection for the duration of their stay. Medical expenses for nonBritish Columbian residents are not covered by the provincial government. If your visitors arrive with no travel insurance protection, BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance coverage can provide up to $300,000 in emergency medical protection. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance offers coverage for items such as hospital expenses and prescription drugs, as well as other options like trip cancellation insurance. In addition, coverage is worldwide (except in the visitor’s home country), as long as the majority of their time is spent visiting in Canada.
TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH
DIANE MARSHALL requirement. For example, the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows relatives to visit for up to two years, and travel insurance coverage is required for the application. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can be purchased for visitors coming to Canada on a Super Visa, to meet the application requirement. It pays to do your research and seek out the right travel insurance policy. Nonresident health coverage rates vary by province, type of treatment and the patient’s condition, but in general, a daily hospitalization rate can be quite costly. Call or visit your nearest BCAA location to learn more about how BCAA Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can help protect your guests from costly medical expenses, or go to bcaa.com/visitors to learn more. Diane Marshall is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA. She can be reached at diane.marshall@bcaa.com.

Cotter’s provincial men’s championship rink and the Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Club were chosen as Team of the Year finalists. There will also be a Leadership in Sport award presented. Last year’s Athlete of the Year was Dave Robinson, who guided the Vipers to a third straight B.C. Hockey League Fred Page Cup title, and came within one game of helping the team win an unprecedented third straight Royal Bank Cup Canadian championship.

Earl Monday, but Shipmaker. the city has I t ’ s decided to hold Earl Shipmaker expected the another meetfuture sesing for public sion will be Morning Star Staff
held in a larger venue like the Drill Hall to accommodate a large number of people. The issue of smart meters has been hanging over council since a resident asked for a ban on the devices in February. The city also formed a committee to examine health and privacy concerns about smart meters and information has been provided
by Citizens for Safe Technology, which opposes meter installation. On Monday, council heard from a B.C. Hydro representative as to why the corporation believes the meters are necessary. Shipmaker insists the entire matter is actually provincial, and the city is being caught in the middle of the ongoing dispute.
Deaf services gaining support RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lake Country is the latest community to support improved communications for the deaf. Council will urge the Canadian Radio Television Telecommunications Commission to initiate permanent video relay service (VRS) for deaf and hard of hearing citizens and those they communicate with. “We definitely support trying to get it into Canada,” said Mayor James Baker. “I’m not sure why it’s not available here.” VRS consists of a deaf person signing via a videophone linked through the Internet to a sign language interpreter. The interpreter then relays the conversation vocally to the hearing recipient. Telus provided the service on a trial basis for 18 months but funding ceased in January. The district became aware of the issue after a presentation from Arlene Brenner, who has been deaf since birth. She has experienced challenges communicating with friends and family, including her mother, since the video relay service ended. Brenner is also unable to contact 911 if there is an emergency.
Baker says his council has focused on improving accessibility for all residents and supporting video relay service fits into that mandate. “It provides the ability for people to get in touch with others. It’s really difficult if you can’t communicate,” he said. Brenner’s campaign has also received support from Coldstream and Vernon councils.
“What ever we say is irrelevant,” he said. “Hydro will do what it wants. Sixty per cent of Enderby already has meters.”
Shipmaker used part of Monday’s session to ask why B.C. Hydro had ignored a city request that no smart meters be installed until the com-
pany makes a presentation to council. “We were told they deal with people individually and not groups,” he said.
The perfect place to meet with friends!

Lumby expenses draw zero input RICHARD ROLKE
How politicians spend money doesn’t appear to be an issue for Lumby taxpayers. No residents attended Monday’s council meeting to provide input on the village’s 2011 annual report. The document includes council and staff remuneration, service contracts and capital expenditures. “I was surprised no one showed up to discuss what’s going on,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “Residents must feel we’re doing a good job here.” Remuneration figures for 2011 show Acton received $18,576 in wages ($12,641) and expenses ($5,935). Coun. Lori Mindnich had wages of $6,697 and expenses of $4,227 for a total of $10,924. For former councillors, there were total wages and expenses of $10,337 for Janet Green, $9,065 for Tracy Williamson and $7,245 for Ben Winters. For councillors elected in November, there was $386 each for Jo Anne Fisher, Nick Hodge and Randal Ostafichuk. The only staff earning more than $75,000 in 2011 (wages and expenses) were public works manager Roger Huston at $78,106 and finance director Ken Klassen at $91,274.

Tigers reel off fifth straight win Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Re/Max Tigers will head into their Saturday night showdown at Wesbild Centre against the first-place Kamloops Venom brimming with confidence. The Cats racked up their fifth consecutive win, improving to 7-5-1 overall, by clipping the Kelowna Raiders 11-10 Wednesday night at Wesbild. They end the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League regular season with a Sunday matinee against the South Okanagan Flames in Penticton. “Right now, the boys have found their swagger and they are playing with confidence and determination,� said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “The team is having fun and our results are proof of that.� The Cats raced out to a firstperiod lead on a pair of goals by Nolan Frame, and singles by Ryan Landels, Craig Bigsby, Ethan Anderson and Mike Quarin. Andrew McMillan (2), Dillon MacLennon and Iain Hart answered for the Raiders (4-9-1). “Other than a few breakdowns, from a systems perspective, the team put forth a consistent effort and were very composed and focused for the entire 60 minutes of play,� said Brumpton. “We transitioned the ball well as our d-men tallied assists on 50 per cent of our goals, which is impressive considering we had four powerplay markers.�
LISA VANDEVELDE/MORNING STAR
Liam Drabiuk of the Vernon Re/Max Tigers tries to get off a shot as he gets bowled over by Ryan Phillips of the Kelowna Raiders in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. The Raiders crept to within a goal in the second period on singles by McMillan, Jaman Heslop and Brendan Urban, with Landels and Ryan Sarazin coun-
tering for Vernon. The teams fired three goals apiece in the final frame; Landels, Anderson and Liam Drabiuk for the Cats, and Ryan Phillips, Scott
Renner and Jordan Laverock for the Venom. The second-place Tigers don’t know who their first-round opponent will be when the post-
season beings July 4. The thirdplace Raiders and fourth-place Armstrong Shamrocks (4-5-2) battled for third place Thursday night in Kelowna. “With only two games remaining, our goal is to remain focused and carry forward the confidence, determination and overall play that has boosted us into second place,� said Brumpton. Meanwhile, in Senior C men’s lacrosse action, Junior Tiger grad Steve Clark collected four goals as the Armstrong Shamrocks shaded the host Kamloops Rattlers 11-9 Tuesday night at Memorial Arena. The Shamrocks, now 5-5, earned a 6-2 first-period lead, pushing that to 9-3 after 40 minutes. Kamloops, who dipped to 6-4, stormed back with six goals in the final frame. Junior call-up Nathan Marcetta added to the Irish attack with a goal in each period, with other offence coming from Jamie Cockrill (2), Dan Giger and Brent Anderson. Natham Woldum, Mark Jurista and AJ Lockwood each had a pair for the Rattlers, singles going to Travis Joseph, Lee Black and JJ Woldum. Chad Pieper backstopped Armstrong with a 50-save showing, and added an assist. Eric Thompson made 18 stops in the loss. Armstrong hosts the 8-2 Kelowna Raiders Friday night, while the 1-9 Senior Tigers, fresh off their first win of the season, are in Kamloops to face the Rattlers.
Spraggs backstops last-place Concept crew to 2-2 draw Morning Star Staff
Riley Spraggs will play wing or centre in college hockey in Oklahoma this fall. Until then, he’s making a name for himself as a pretty decent keeper with Concept Physio of the North Okanagan Soccer League. The 21-year-old was the Okanagan Training Rink Man of the Match as he led last-place Concept to an exciting 2-2 draw with second-place North Enderby Timber Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4. The game was back and forth with both teams trading chances in the first half. NET
forced Spraggs to make some spectacular saves to keep Concept in the game and the Physio crew used that momentum to take the lead late in the first half on a goal by Fabrice N’Dair who headed home a deflection off NET keeper Brent Paulsen. NET (5-2-2) came out very hard in the second half and made it 2-1 quickly on goals by striker Brandon Enair (Aclis Apparel Man of the Match), but Concept tightened up the defence and started putting the pressure on NET. Both keepers were tested and Concept (0-6-2) equalized on a penalty shot by Axel
Chinyanata, awarded when Sean Lister was called for a foul off a corner. Both Spraggs and Paulsen were solid in the final 20 minutes with Spraggs making the saves of the year on Danny Stein from ‘gimme’ range. The first save was inside the six-yard box and Spraggs laid out to stop a point blank shot and then the rebound landed right on Stein’s foot, and Spraggs scrambled to get his hand on that shot too, deflecting it wide of the net. Meanwhile, Turn-Key Controls FC returned to action after a two-week, raininduced hiatus and grounded Davidson &
Co. Dynamite 4-2 at Marshall #2. Struggling to score goals before the break, Turn-Key used a big first half as they improved to 5-3. Having plenty of time to practise and watch Euro 2012, Turn-Key switched up their forward lines placing Andrew Pool and Nathan Tucker with incumbent Conan Ackert and were rewarded with all four forwards scoring goals. Tucker opened the scoring early in the first half on a well-placed, left-footed strike that beat Davidson keeper Ean Ross.

Surveyors tie Courvas Celtics run Continued from A23 Turn-Key held the majority of possession early on and defender Kyle Goodgrove led the rush and found Pool, who made no mistake putting Turn-Key back up 2-1 after a Davidson goal. Shortly before the half, Ackert used his large frame to strip Ross of the ball in the six-yard box before putting the ball away for a 3-1 lead. The Dynamite (2-5-2) came out with a renewed sense of urgency in the second half and neither side could break through until a beautiful bicycle kick goal by the Nitros made it 3-2. Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Pool put Turn-Key up for good shortly after when he buried a well-struck ball from 20 yards just under the crossbar. Monashee Surveying of Vernon played some inspired soccer in tying league-leading Salmon Arm Courvas 2-2 at Marshall #1. Strong play by Monashee kept Courvas (6-0-1) closed down early until against the play, Courvas scored
on a chipping long ball that fooled keeper Rodney Goodchild. Monashee (3-2-3) equalized off a key defensive stop by Ryan Sharp. Sharp’s long shot was bobbled by the Courvas keeper and rookie superstar Daniel Lutsenko finished top corner. Monashee surprised the NOSL world by going up 2-1 off another stellar ball by Sharp which the keeper dropped. Alberto Lopez took control of the loose ball and finished off with some fancy feet. Courvas evened the score minutes later after a defensive miscue. After some hard work by Monashee kept Courvas pinned in their zone, Monashee were awarded a late PK late. Devon Marriot stepped up and was stoned by the keeper. Goodchild, a stand-in, was a standout with some killer saves all night, including one off the line. The whole Monashee team shared Pizza Hut Man of the Match. A game scheduled between the Hi-Pro Camels FC and Revelstoke Stallions was postponed due to wet fields in Revelstoke.

by Outlaws Morning Star Staff
The North Enderby Timber Celtics are no longer the team everybody beats in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1. The ever-improving Celtics, under coach Graham Ross, brushed back the Little Tex Outlaws 3-0 Tuesday night, improving to 4-2-2, good for second place behind idle Dr. Lee Dental Clinic. Playing a hard, physical game, the Celtics took control early owning possession for most of the first half, only to get shut out by the stubborn Little Tex defence. The Celtics got a great goal from Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs scoring star Paige Doherty in the 60th minute. Doherty received a great pass from right midfielder Tori Reid, poked the ball through the back line and calmly slotted it home. “Paige had a great game; it was only a matter of time before she scored,” said Ross. The Celtics’ second goal came after some tireless work from the back line all the way to the goal, with Jenn Siegmueller wnning a tough 50/50 ball sending the ball deep into the left corner of the pitch, Jodi Bariesheff, a Crossfit fanatic, showed her wheels streaking to win the ball in the corner and crossed it near post to Heidi Holtmann, who volleyed it short side with her left peg. NET’s third and final goal came off a great run from Carly Smith, who received a sweet chip pass from Ashley Krause. Smith then knock the ball down between two defenders, outran them and buried a sliding shot as the keeper came charging out. “Our defensive line gets MVP shout out, shutting down the Outlaws, and making it look easy,” added Ross. Charmaine Biagioni earned the shutout, owning anything inside the box. Jordan Mercer had a strong game as sweeper despite many hard hits by the Celtics, getting strong support from Stacey Cover, Kaitlyn Dyck and Jennifer Knop. Jasmine Whitling had another strong game in the middle, setting up several scoring chances, while Anita Rae was also strong in the middle with many great through balls. Cover had a few good runs up the channel and delivered some beautiful crosses. Christine Fraser was also strong in the midfield. The first division game scheduled between the AF Blazers and Glenn Power of Salmon Arm was postponed due to wet fields in the Shuswap. In Masters Division play, Rosters stuffed Setters Pub of Salmon Arm 3-1 at Marshall Field #4. Rosters’ first goal was scored by Rene Cooke, who capitalized on the 2-5-1 Setters squad looking for a call from the referee instead of playing the whistle. Setters were caught flat-footed while badgering the referee when Cooke nailed a shot hard off the crossbar that Becky McLennan headed to the back of the net. Showing no mercy, Cooke finished off the night with an amazing shot from far right side of the 18-yard box. Rosters displayed excellent ball control in the

Jen Funk and Denise Bateman also had outstanding games for the sports club crew (3-4-2). The Vernon Square Liquor Store NOU grounded the Shuswap Kaos 3-0 at Marshall #3. NOU (4-1-3) converted in the early going on a hard, low toe punt by (Lean) Lena Dean, who fought her way into the goal crease after a beauty pass through the middle by Shelley Henry. Henry then zigged and zagged her way down the centre for the 2-0 goal. The third goal came off an outstanding, high bullet of a corner kick from Cheryl Roddis, who found the fluffy hair of Charlene McNaught, who tapped in to complete the deed. Dar Wiese registered the shutout. The powerful Vernon Chick Kickers built up a 5-0 lead at the half and cruised past the shortstaffed Goplen Drillers 9-0 at Marshall #2. Jenny Garnett (3), Crystal Bergman (2), Tania Sladen, Jen Sorochuck, Michelle Johnson and Mel Jacobs scored for the speedy Kickers (7-1), who got some awesome runs down left wing from Trish Cox. Sorochuck left the game midway through the first half, requiring seven stitches above her eye after going up for a header. The Kickers also got sizzling games from Charlene Johnson and Corrie Bauml. Geri O’Brien and Michelle Connolly had some good opportunities up front for the subless Drillers (2-6-1) while the half line of Aggie Golosinski, Karinda McGraw, Kelly Megyesi and Maura McCarthy had solid two-way games. The defence line and keeper Shaun Nickoli were extremely busy battling the Kickers forwards. Jodi Peshko, Tracey Hill, Karen Zupp and Krista MacCagno ran tirelessly on the back line.

Butcher Boys bag third Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Butcher Boys Legends stopped West Kootenay 7-2 Sunday to finish third in their home Pee Wee lacrosse tournament at Nor-Val Centre. It was a hard-hitting affair with the Legends winning most of the physical battles and getting two goals each from captain and game MVP James Francis and Seth Waterstreet. Kayden Beauregard, Tanner Franje-Gilbert and call-up Easton Hunter added singles. Butcher Boys, coached by Rich Zecchel, opened the tournament by ambushing West Kootenay 11-3. Waterstreet, Francis, and game MVP Thomas Mackiewich each scored twice with singles going to Reece Hawthorne, Franje-Gilbert, Beauregard, Luc Halvorson. Solid defence was turned in by Josh Melbourne and Macey Drabiuk, while Tyler Langtry was stellar in net. Game 2 on Saturday saw the Legends slam the Prince George Posse 13-3 with Beauregard scoring just 22 seconds in for his first of two goals. Waterstreet and Hawthorne each turned hat tricks, while Francis and Franje-Gilbert each scored twice. Playing solid on the crease were Kael Black, Erik Urquhart and the White twins – Isaac and Samuel. The Legends then bowed 9-2 to eventual tournament winning New Westminster. Both Butcher Boys
goals were supplied by Hawthorne (game MVP). Playing solid all over the floor were Rhys Larsen, Hunter, Melbourne and Mackiewich. The #2 Legends, coached by Casey Sherriff, went 1-3 in the tournament but still qualified for the zone playdowns this weekend in Summerland. The Legends finished play Sunday by storming the Prince George Posse 7-1 for fifth place. “The boys seemed to be refreshed and they came out flying and finally found their offence,” said Sherriff. Miles Wolhford pulled the hat trick, while Dakota Campen added a pair. Strong defensive play was turned in by Tanner Wright, Jacob Brewer, Tristan Baker, Sorcha Pasco and Carter Hittinger. The Legends opened by falling 7-3 to Kamloops despite a masterful effort by goalie Troy Cuzzetto, who faced more rubber than a Kal Tire employee. The Legends then bowed 2-0 to West Kootenay with superb defensive games by Dalen Kenney and Cameron Work. The Legends ended the round-robin by losing a 4-3 thriller to Prince George. North Okanagan applied their usual first-period offence with pressure from the likes of Kaden Doughty, Wohlford and Campen. North Okanagan held a 3-1 lead with 10 minutes left until the Posse stormed back to tie it and get the winner with 15 seconds left.

Canadians collect weekend wins The Vernon Canadians delivered on Father’s Day weekend, pocketing a pair of Mosquito baseball wins in West Kelowna. The C’s opened with a 16-3 drubbing of West Kelwona, and then caged the Kamloops River Dogs 12-2.

In the second, Lincoln Connor brought home Shaun Huizinga with an RBI single, and Jackson Soucy drove in two more runs. The Canadians went up 12-3 at the end of the third as Morris, who took over pitching duties, and Caden Colmorgen provided an RBI, and then stole home.

The Canadians carried their strong sticks against the River Dogs, with Lincoln Connor hitting a single and Koll Cherkowski a triple. Batchelor, Foufoulas and Soucy all scored in the fourth, and Caden Colmorgen brought in Cherkowski.

Navy boys propel Vernon Cup win Morning Star Staff
The Royal LePage Navy Team Bacon brought home the Vernon Cup Under 13 Boys House soccer playoff title at Marshall Field. The Bacon boys, who won all three of their post-season games, recorded a pair of shutouts on the final weekend, stopping the Red Bulls 2-0 and icing Team White 4-0. Brendan Horsfield was in net and striker Josh Hyer scored both goals in the victory over the Reds. Trystin Gerstmeyer and Sayer Ford shared the shutout over the Whites, while Kyle Karens (2), defender Gerstmeyer, on a free kick, and striker Sam Frisby supplied the offence. Blanket defence was provided by Ford, Noah Thiessen and Brody Luchene in the middle with Ethan Jamison, Saran Malhi and Brayden Bevans on the outside. Relentless ball movement from a hardworking midfield of Gerstmeyer, Jayden Banner, Lucas Riendstra and Chris Moore kept speedy wingers Taylor Forster and Karens supplied with quality passes, while strikers Hyer, Frisby and Horsfield put punishing shots on opposing keepers. “We would like to thank Royal LePage for helping us have a great season, and the tireless efforts of (NOYSA administrator Korberg) Marina to make everything work,” said Bacon head coach Ben Moore. Steve Pelkey’s Red Bulls played a strong defensive game against Bacon, led by keeper Jared Bobyrk, who made many fantastic saves. The back line of Gaman Singh, Nick Alveberg, Hayden Broderick, Bryce Meausette and John Bernakevitch were stellar. Midfielders Tyler Baginski, Gavin Donald and Shane Pelkey supported nicely. In the season finale, the Red Bulls defeated the Royal LePage Golds 6-2. Centre midfielder Connor Johnston was his normal tenacious self. He buzzed all over the field and contributed four helpers. Dylan Henry scored twice, including a beauty on a penalty kick. David Heng scored on a sweet solo effort. Kieran Webster, Shane Pelkey and the Red Bulls’ Mexican magician Marcelo Suro rounded out the scoring. Josh Baker received the Tough Guy award for playing all weekend on a bad ankle.
Aidan Godfrey captained the Subway Boys U15 Reds to a 1-1 draw with Team Gold to claim the Boys U15 Vernon Cup on round-robin points. The Reds, who retained their season unbeaten record, opened the attack when leading scorer Pablo Iniguez connected. Strong defence was turned in by Rowan Wood and Ryan Squair. Keeper Patrick Dew made some clutch saves in a frantic last few minutes with Brad Conlin’s Gold boys pressing for the go-ahead tally. League champion Alda Masonry scored three unanswered goals in the second half to erase a one-goal deficit and win the U18 Boys Vernon Cup with a hard-fought 4-2 victory over a tough H&R Block squad Sunday. Justin Mitchell scored the Masons’ opening goal on an early breakaway. Layne Greene equalized before the first-half whistle. Greene, whose brother Sean also enjoyed a strong game, fought off a defender early in the second half to give H&R Block the lead. H&R (Leszek Baginski) successfully fought off the regular-season champs before Jonathan Pfaffenrot levelled the score. Quinn Jones got the eventual winner with a top-shelfer while Zach Anderson buried the insurance marker. “It was a great group of boys who worked hard to win the league and the playdowns,” said Alda coach John Farina. The U11 Boys Navy Blue Bombers capped off a perfect season with a 4-1 win over Team Orange, who opened the scoring early with a great individual run down the right side, Bomber keeper Nicholas Maglio almost stopping the blast with a dive. Caele Kassa and Soliel Pitcher played superb defence for the rest of the half and a late goal by Maguire Lauridsen evened the score before the half. Showing great poise and skill was Ben Miller. Hayden Lewis, Taylor Boisvert and Jacob Baycroft distributed the ball well to keep Orange off the ball and setting up a spirited second half which was all about ball possession, great passing and Carter Morris. The previously snake-bitten Morris made up for it, quickly flashing three fingers at his awestruck coaching staff after completing the hat trick.

Lee Christensen and Christopher McIntosh looked like mini-Spaniards moving the ball and giving Team Orange few chances. Barry McIntosh was head coach of the Navy crew. The U12 Royal LePage Whitecaps Girls struck gold with two wins and a tie. Erick Burnet’s Whitecaps opened with a 4-0 win over Team Red with goals from Autumn Doucette (2), Emma Doucette and Katie Dennis. Hannah McCaffrey and Emily Dahl shared the shutout. The Whitecaps then battled Team Yellow to a scoreless draw with several shots on goal from the Doucette girls and Dennis. Dahl and Emma Doucette earned the shutout. The Caps clipped Team Navy (Stan Pavlov) 1-0 in Sunday’s game, which decided the playoff champion. Carly Popilchak used her powerful right foot with a few strong attempts on goal, but scored the first and only goal of the game

with her left, in the low right corner. Jackson Nicholls and Hannah McCaffrey kept working in the midfield, helping the defence where needed and supplying the forwards with good passes. Popilchak and Dahl split the Caps’ third shutout. The strong, aggressive back line with Jordyn Ross, Paige Brown, Sarah Burnet and outstanding multi-functional sweeper Haylee Gosselin gave away limited chances. Both teams advanced to the final by winning Saturday semifinals 1-0. Lesley Williams’ team upset first-place H&L Glass (Ed Huber) on penalty kicks while Nixon Wenger converted a penalty kick from the spot with about seven minutes to play against Caufield Engraving. Team #1 battled back from fourth place and won the U18 Girls title by winning three shootout games after scoreless play. In Sunday’s gold-medal match, the ‘Sedin’ sister strikers, Eva Acri and Kirsten Moore, with linemate Mariah Swanson, enjoyed several strong attacks but were thwarted by Nixon Wenger’s exceptional sweeper. Midfielders Nicole Williams, Ana Manton, Courtney Kowalchuk and Sam Bienias frustrated Nixon Wenger with nicely timed giveand-goes. Defenders Lauren Dyck, Sam Orr, Kennedy Louis, Alix Petit and Vicki Schley denied Nixon’s speedy attempts at net. Late in the second, Nixon kicked the ball out of the keeper hands, but the goal was called off. Team #1 keeper Kelsey Paulin was outstanding all weekend, especially in the shootout. After finishing second in league play, the Orange Crush struck gold in the U14/15 Girls playoffs, clipping Team Yellow 3-2 in a shootout. Down two at the half, Crush (Sue Barss) first-half keeper turned striker Lauren Wishart started the scoring early with a gorgeous high shot. Midfielders Stephanie Miller, Ashley Condie, Elise Butler and striker Kionia Ramsey worked tirelessly to move the ball and set up chances. In the dying minutes, Hannah Swift, supported by strikers Paige Hason and Haley Lapp, converted a rebound for the equalizer.

U13 Girls play Continued from A26 The back line of Keira Fitzpatrick, Kayla Berlinski, Lauren Keryluke, Sarah Marshall and Geneva Delaney eliminated Yellow chances. A drama-jammed shootout followed, with Megan Barss, Erin Hickman and Jamison Gordon Mason all scoring for the Crush. Keeper Waverley Vanderdeen made three amazing saves after a stellar second-half performance. After finishing the regular season undefeated and starting strong with five goals in their Cup opener, the U15 Girls Subway Sharks saw their offence dry up last weekend, with a tie and two losses On Friday, the Sharks started slow against a determined Vanilla Ice, and their only real scoring chance came late in the second half when Nikki Watson and Rajvir Randhawa strung some nice passes together to send Carlee Meausette in on net for a hard shot just wide. On Saturday, the Sharks and Jackals battled hard in an entertaining affair that went back and forth with the Jackals getting the only goal late in the first half. The Sharks pressed hard in the second half, but couldn’t get the equalizer. Playing for third place against the Silver Bullets (Hans Edblad) on Sunday, the Sharks again went down by a goal in the first half. Keeper Katie MacGillivray was strong to keep the Sharks in the game as they pushed forward for the equalizer. The last few minutes saw some frantic action in front of the Bullets’ net, but they held on for a well deserved win. Coach Brian Eso said the Sharks settled for fourth place in “high spirits, with every player having had lots of action on the weekend.” The Royal LePage Gold Lightning overcame huge odds to win the U13 Girls championship. With five of their players either on a school field trip or injured, the Lightning still managed to rally to stop the highly favoured Reds (Paul Morgan) 1-0 Sunday. The Bolts played a smart defensive game and conserved their energy while again playing one player short with no subs. Molly Korol showed determined hustle in midfield, while Kara Savage displayed marvellous ball control and scored with eight minutes left. Shay Petersen and Easton Gilowoski played solid defensively. Missing their two regular keepers, the Bolts looked to Connie Kapak and Marina Demsey to share duties in a 1-1 draw with Team White. Kapak

Petersen was brilliant at fullback, while Demsey made some spectacular saves with the game tied 1-1. Brooke Berube also ran miles for the Lightning, whose coach Terry Petersen said: “They were the little team that could. They believed in themselves and played to beat all the odds and overcame many obstacles and adversity.” The Royal LePage Gold, or Golden Hornets as the team liked to call themselves, won the U11 Girls crown with the Navy (Dawn Ponich) second. Coaches Andy Overend and John Vandeleest said the girls worked extra hard in training. “Each game they seemed to get a little bit better,” said Overend. “They faced excellent opponents who always challenged them to raise their own level of play. The entire team, without exception, grew in skills, sportsmanship, and game sense. It was a fabulous season that ended in a very rewarding way. Each of the players commented that they can’t wait ‘till next season.” There are 2,197 players in youth soccer.
Little defends B.C. golf crown Morning Star Staff
Jackie Little, formerly of Vernon, defended her B.C. senior women’s golf title Thursday at Highland Pacific Golf in Victoria. Little held a five-stroke lead on runner-up Alison Murdoch of Victoria heading into the final round Thursday, but struggled with a 7-over 79 to win by a stroke and finish with a three-round total 232 (75-78-79). Murdoch, who claimed the Super Senior title, ended at 77-81-75. Kelowna’s Lynda Palahniuk grounded North Saanich’s Penny Baziuk in a one-hole sudden-death playoff to take third place. Palahniuk, who recently won both the Baron Insurance and Spall Ladies Open titles in Vernon, finished at 238 (81-79-78), while Baziuk pieced today a 79-82-77. “Today was a bit of a struggle,” Little told B.C. Golf. “I really didn’t hit the ball all that bad but I just couldn’t get a feel for the greens, and my weight on my up-and-downs was a bit off.” Little, Murdoch and Palahniuk will represent B.C. at the Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Senior Championship at the Belvedere Golf Club in Charlottetown, Aug. 21-23. However, Little is scheduled for shoulder surgery and may not recov-
The Vernon Diamondbacks went scoreless in dropping both ends of a senior men’s baseball twinbill against the Trail Orioles Sunday at Marshall Field. The D-Backs wasted an extraordinary effort from pitcher Jason Nazar in a 1-0 opening loss and then bowed 10-0. The best-of-five playoff series resumes July 13-15 in Trail. The winner advances to the Westerns which Vernon attended last year. Nazar and Trail’s Kyle Paulsen both tossed stellar complete games. Nazar had two strikeouts, while giving up six hits and four walks while throwing mainly heat. The Orioles scored their run in the third inning after a walk and two singles. Paulsen struck out seven batters, while walking six and allowing four hits. Vernon catcher Jose Wade had one hit in one at bat and threw out a runner at second. The D-Backs’ defence was solid with no errors. In Game 2, Trail scored three times in the first inning and cruised the rest of the way as
the D-Backs committed four errors. Mike Patitucci tossed 2 2/3 strong innings of relief, allowing three runs on some bloop singles and errors (only one run was earned). Peter Ortman had two hits in his first
two games of the year for the D-Backs, while rookie Adam Nairne registered his third hit of the season. The Diamondbacks host the Kelowna Jays for a doubleheader Sunday (1 and 3:30 p.m.) at Marshall.

Vandenbrink goes low at Canoe Creek Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink, after two runnerup showings in big tournaments, won a playoff and earned $500 in the Interior PGA Callaway Tour stop Monday at Canoe Creek in Salmon Arm. Vandenbrink defeated Greg Machtaler of Summerland in a two-hole playoff. Both players shot solid rounds of 2-under-70. “Finally, no second place,” laughed Vandenbrink. “I hit 16 greens in regulation and had four birdies and two bogeys. I made a lot of six- and eightfooters which really helped.” Both Vandenbrink and Machtaler earned par on the opening playoff hole. They then moved to No. 9 where Vandenbrink hit his second shot into the trees with a driver, while Machtaler knocked a Hybrid centre of the fairway, 160 yards out. Machtaler, a 28-year-old Brigham Young Cougar grad, chipped to within 12 feet, but missed his putt for bogey. Vandenbrink sank an 18-footer for par. Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen lost 4 and 3 to Dean Brown of Regina in the PGA of Canada match-play championship at Cottonwood in Calgary.

News Spillway withstands spring flows BOBBISUE MENARD Black Press
It has been a wet, wet week in Lake Country and on one front, infrastructure investments by the district are paying off. Two years ago, the Vernon Creek spillway was upgraded as part of its lifespan maintenance. During the wet weeks of June this year, the magnificent rooster tail of water created by the spillway has been visual proof the upgrades are working as planned. The week of June 9 to June 12 saw water flowing at a rate of 7,620 litres per second over the spillway. It created a rooster tail of water from energy dissipaters that protect the plunge pool at the bottom of the spillway.
Groove goes on in Armstrong Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s Memorial Park is about to be filled with families and friends as the second Music in the Park event features a Vernon band today. No Bad Days, a classic rock band that covers tunes from the 70s and 80s, and also play a little country and rhythm blues, will begin at 7 p.m. The four-piece band consists of Frank Kelly on lead guitar and lead vocals, Dale Miskosky on rhythm guitar and vocals, Owen Cook on drums and vocals, and bass player Don Baum, who adds vocal harmonies. Music in the Park is a free community event, proudly sponsored by Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce with support of the City of Armstrong, Thompson Okanagan Tourism and local media.
“This is the second highest flow I’ve seen in the past 18 years that I’ve been here,” said Michael Mercer, director of engineering. The 2010 upgrade project was worth $150,000. Vernon Creek is consistently monitored by Lake Country district staff. The spillway is considered to be an important part of the flood mitigation strategy for the creek and the project has proven its worth. “Otherwise, we may have been reporting on a much different outcome,” said Mercer. “Structure failure on Vernon Creek could have had serious implications. “But the spillway is operating safely and as intended.”

STOP HAIR LOSS
HELPING HAND
Dr. C. Hammoud, Ph.D. recommends:
To reduce or stop hair loss for men and women CARA BRADY/ MORNING STAR
Klaus Tribes signs a cheque for $2,100 from the Daffodil Day dinner to Wendy Stewart, Vernon Unit Canadian Cancer Society president, and Shannon Jolley, with the Souther Interior region CCS. The money was raised through an April dinner at KT’s Restaurant and auction.
#77
Super advanced formula #77 Has been used successfully for many years KING SIZE - 2 months supply
All Natural Ingredients
With powerful DHT block, the recognized #1 cause of hair loss. Unique combination of ingredients make it a guaranteed superior product. Helps to rejuvenate your hair for a fuller and thicker appearance. Early prevention of baldness for those that have a family history. Pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is caused by an oversupply of hormones DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). It damages hair follicles over time unless preventive action is taken. #77 feeds the roots of the hair by supplying them with the best hair nutrient ever discovered. Help for people who are on radiation or chemo therapy or taking other drugs that cause hair loss. Read testimonials on the Bell website with names, phone numbers and email addresses: “My hair has stopped falling out...and my hair looks shinier and healthier.”; “After 30 days use I noticed I am losing less hair! My hair now looks fuller and the texture has improved.”; “Hair loss was noticeably reduced with first bottle!”; “After using Bell Stop Hair Loss #77 for 2 weeks my hair was not as thin anymore and at the end of the treatment of 2 months my little bald spot on the back of my head was growing over with little hair. This product helped to restore my youthful look.”
SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
ACNE
By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.
#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:
Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes
I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

News Senior input sought in Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age-friendly initiative Morning Star Staff
Armstrong has reached a Pinnacle in becoming an age-friendly community. The city has announced that Enderby-based Pinnacle Organizational Performance Solutions will co-lead the Age-Friendly Community Assessment and Planning Initiative for which Armstrong received a provincial grant through the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM).
The two groups will engage the Armstrong community in a planning process that defines what an age-friendly community represents to the many groups living and working within Armstrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with the receipt of the grant monies, and I am confident that the Pinnacle group will work well with our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors as we enter into the discussions necessary to define our
future as an age-friendly community,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong Coun. Sully Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan. The city requested interest from consulting resources to plan and conduct the assessment, the provide information that will improve the accessibility and inclusion of Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older residents. The aim is to sustain Armstrong as a supportive and inclusive community for all generations.
Pinnacle owner Shirley Leonard and her two associates, Real Rousseau of Vernon and Dr. Michelle Ambrose of Salmon Arm, have created a focused alliance to bring a wealth of experience to the project.

Streetheart proves that rock and roll is here to stay KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
In the music business, things that were once the hot trend can come back. Like a hamster running in one of those spinning wheels, music, like fashion, is cyclical. Take the return of vinyl, Madonnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex-filled stage antics, and a shirtless, bandanaed Axl Rose, who is emulated by Tom Cruise in the new movie Rock of Ages (see review on page B4). Then there are things that should never be repeated: tight, red leather pants (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking at you, Mike Reno) and trying to cover up receding hairlines with bandanas (again, see Rock of Ages or any Rolling Stones concert.) Alas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that audiences are forgiving, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no more apparent than in Canada with the love shown to many of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic rock bands. And if you need proof, all you have to do is show up at the A&W Funtastic Music Festival next weekend, where beer-fueled crowds will be going nuts for such legends as Trooper, Streetheart, The Headpins, and Lou Gramm of Foreigner (OK, that last one is American, but he still has a huge fan base in this country.) The love between the fans and the respect earned after years of playing together, with some time off for good behaviour, is one of the reasons why guitarist Jeff Neill is back with Streetheart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The summer festivals are great for the fans to come see us, and there a lot of great venues for classic rock,â&#x20AC;? said Neill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fans are loyal... And now that their kids are grown up, they have the money to come see us.â&#x20AC;? A successful producer in his own right, Neill rejoined Streetheart in 2003 after playing with Australian soul rocker Jimmy Barnes for more

Streetheartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daryl Gutheil, Jake Jacobs, Kenny Shields, Jeff Neill and Tim Sutton open the A&W Funtastic Music Festival Friday, June 29 with some classic Canadian rock. than a decade. He originally joined Streetheart on the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-titled 1981 album, performing with original members, vocalist Kenny Shields, keyboardist Daryl Gutheil and bassist Ken â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiderâ&#x20AC;? Sinnaeve (who would go on to join Loverboy, along with other Streetheart members Paul Dean and Matt Frennette before him.) The band later called it quits in 1983 after releasing such hits as
Look at Me, Action, a discoesque version of The Rolling Stonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Under My Thumb, and Here Comes The Night, among others. After Streetheart broke up, Neill started a studio and became a producer developing new talent and writing for advertisements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always writing and recording music and lots of people had given me good advice, so I decided to start my own business,â&#x20AC;? said Neill, who has since worked
on major campaigns for Disney, Ford and TGIF restaurants as well as producing artists. So when Shields first brought up the idea of getting the band back together, Neill was intrigued, but concerned about the time commitment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw Kenny play and he was looking for a guitarist, so I did a few one-offs. We were still friends, but after getting back together, I thought there was still some-

thing there, so I thought why not... If Spider and Matt werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in Loverboy now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also probably still be in the band.â&#x20AC;? Neill, Gutheil and Shields have since been joined by Tim Sutton on drums and Jake Jacobs on bass for the new incarnation of Kenny Shields and Streetheart. Besides his guitar duties, Neill has since worked on a solo record for Shields as well as coordinating all of Streetheartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bookings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our friendship has grown over the years. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this respect thing. Back in the day, we fought like cats and dogs, now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not on the road as much. We tend to go out weekends,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also go out of respect for the fans. They have given 30 years of their lives, so we owe them a level of quality.â&#x20AC;? One thing that also hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed is the quality of Shieldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voice, adds Neill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sings as good as he ever did. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke or drink. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conscious about keeping his voice in good shape. The man has been singing for over 40 years, but you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it. His voice is what people connect with.â&#x20AC;? As for that everything old is new again, Neill agrees, but says he is realistic about the band seeking out new fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get young kids coming up to us saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my parents played your records,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fool them. Life takes over as you get older, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time that you once had when you were younger. But our second generation fans do come out and are supportive.â&#x20AC;? Kenny Shields and Streetheart headline the A&W Funtastic Music Festival at the Vernon Army Camp/ DND grounds Friday, June 29, with opening acts The Headpins, and Orio with Katrina Lawrence. The June 30 lineup features local acts MACE, Lift Off, The Dirt and headliner Lou Gramm. Opening July 1 is Aerosmith Rocks and We Are Live, with Trooper taking the stage after the Canada Day fireworks show. One-day ($25) and three-day ($50) passes are now available at all A&W locations in Vernon and Armstrong. (No minors will be admitted.)

All hail the Queen at jubilee tea party Morning Star Staff
Locals can snap on their favourite fascinator, slip on the white gloves, and pull out the dress they’ve been saving for the Royal Ascot to sip tea with the Queen in honour of her 60th Royal Jubilee. (And if you’re a boy, a bowler or top hat should do.) On Saturday, The Mackie Lake House Foundation is hosting the tea on the lawn of its beautiful, provincially recognized heritage home on the shore of Kalamalka Lake. Even her Royal Majesty will be making an appearance in the form of local actress Christine Pilgrim, who will mingle with the guests as they enjoy an English-style tea. “It’s to be a family affair –

Cultural diversity celebrated at event Morning Star Staff
Get ready to be dazzled and enlightened as three local spiritual and cultural organizations hold a block party in downtown Vernon Saturday. The First Nations Friendship Centre, the Metis Community Services Society and the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living are collaborating to stage the all-day event, which will feature live entertainment and more. There will be ongoing music and entertainment with a lineup of local and professional musicians performing on an outdoor stage, said Rev. Dale Jukes, with the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living. “The three societies are dedicated to outreach, to supporting people, and to improve and empower themselves,” he said. “Sometimes it is good to discover the riches of our own community before we travel far looking for the perfect holiday. Our forward thinking societies are inviting you to come and check us out for the day.” Besides the live entertainment, the event will feature a number of booths providing information and displays on everything from environmentally friendly gardening and landscaping techniques to information on the many ways each society serves the community. An outdoor café serving tea and goodies will be open for the day as well as opportunities to experience Metis and First Nations hospitality and culture. Saturday’s event takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 2900 block of 29th Avenue, downtown. For more information contact the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living at 250-549-4399.

DAVID JAMES/WARNER BROS.
Tom Cruise stars as aging rocker Stacee Jaxx in the stage-turned-film version of the rock musical Rock of Ages. I grew up in the time these songs came out. I enjoy duet, harmony and medleys. So I guess I’m mathematically disposed to approve of this film. That is to say, I don’t want to enjoy, yet I must. It was loud, raucous, raunchy, sexy, sweet and stupid; exactly as it should be. It’s rock and roll. It’s sweaty. HOWE: The story was laid out great, the acting and singing (although a little ropey at times) was good, and the songs that they chose were fantastic. I caught myself a few times tapping my foot and singing along to them. TAYLOR: Really? You sang along? I saw some people nodding
their heads. I smiled a lot. There were some very exuberant young women in the row in front of us. I was surprised by some of the singing. Tom Cruise was... extremely acceptable. Others might have been a bit more amateur. Julianne Hough, for instance, sings like a very sexy baby (that’s not a good thing). For the most part, I wasn’t put off, despite the feast of corndogs. HOWE: Catherine Zeta Jones was great as the goodie two shoes wife of the mayor. The chemistry between Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand was funny and at times very moving. TAYLOR: Moving? I don’t think we’ll be handing out any
The
Oscars on this one, or Grammys or Tonys, for that matter. It had a clichéd plot, overacting and pines for a time many of us would rather just forget. Yet, despite my hating musicals, I can’t help but like this movie. It fit me like a pair of 501s, pinch rolled, of course. HOWE: In the end, Rock of Ages is a fun movie. Grab your head scarf, your Def Leppard T-shirt and rock out for two hours. – Taylor gives Rock of Ages 3 pairs of leather pants out of 5. – Howe gives it 4 scarfed mic stands out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 Vernon take part in a parade in the city in 1929. The branch celebrates 85 years this year.
Legion has been on duty for 85 years CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Even before the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 was a part of the community, veterans were getting together. It started with about a dozen Boer War (1899-1902) veterans holding informal meetings to keep up their friendship when they returned to Vernon. They were joined by First World War (1914-1918) veterans and met in a house on 30th Avenue as members of the British Empire Service League. The Royal Canadian Legion Vernon Branch 25 was founded Jan. 11, 1927, with 15 charter members and celebrates its 85th anniversary this year. Comrade B. Edett was the first president. The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services was founded in 1925, bringing together several veterans’ organizations across the country. In 1960, Queen Elizabeth II granted the organization royal patronage and it became known as the Royal Canadian Legion. At the time the Legion branches were first founded, few people at home could even imagine what the returning veterans had experienced. “It used to be a place where the veterans could come and be with people who understood what they had been through.
They could relax and talk. Maybe it was a bit of therapy for them, too,” said Carroll MacDonald, first vice-president and public relations service officer, who served in the Canadian Armed Forces on active and reserve duty for 28 years. While the Legion started as an organization for veterans, any Canadian citizen over age 18 can become a member (in different categories) without a sponsor. Guests have to be signed in to the building by a member. The Legion provides entertainment and meals for members and guests and is active in a number of fundraising activities for community service. Members are eligible to rent a cabin or use the campgrounds at Gardom Lake and enjoy the activities and food, which includes what is called the best fish and chips in town. Branch 25 second vice-president Jenny Negraiff, who has no military background, joined the Legion when she moved to Vernon from the coast and wanted to meet people and be involved in the community. “I was signed in to the Legion a couple of times by a friend and liked it and decided it was something I wanted to do. I like the charity aspect of it and the way it helps veterans, as well as the camaraderie,” she said.
Branch 25 has about 1,000 members, including around 100 veterans in local care facilities. Legion members visit other members who request it and help with information and referrals about benefits and services for veterans and their families. The annual Poppy Campaign donations are used only for assistance for veterans and their families. Legion members help organize the annual Remembrance Day services for Vernon. “The Legion has always been a big promoter to make sure that veterans get proper care and an advocate for veterans,” said MacDonald, who would like to see more public awareness of the Legion’s service to its members and the community. The Legion makes donations of about $50,000 each year to a variety of local charities with an emphasis on those helping youth and seniors. The Royal Canadian Legion Vernon Branch 25 celebrates its 85th anniversary June 24 to 30 with a variety of activities to be announced. The Legion is looking for the loan of military memorabilia for an anniversary display. For more information about the Legion, the anniversary activities, or to loan items for the display, call the office at 250-545-3295.

BIBLE BASICS
Eccl. 10:1: “Dead Áies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour. So doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom.” Folly may be found even in the wise man, when a very little will do as much harm to his reputation as dying Áies do when they settle in perfumed oil; they cause it to become putrid and fetid so that what was once aromatic is now offensive. Since a little folly outweighs much wisdom the wise man’s heart sees that his understanding guides him in all important undertakings.

I have three grown children and a seven-year-old daughter whose father is not in her life, nor does he pay child support, even though he earns a decent income. I recently have had some personal setbacks. My hours were cut at work, and I had to move out of our apartment because I could not afford the rent. I called my mother and asked her for financial help. She said no because it would mean losing “her family.” I was shocked. I thought I was her family, but apparently not. I am the youngest of four siblings.

look into the Family Service Association (family-service.org). Dear Annie: I have a good friend in her 50s who recently started seeing “Frank.” She seems very happy with him. I found out that Frank posted on his Facebook page something that implies the two of them had sex in a van in a parking lot late at night. Frank still lives with his parents, so I assume this posting could be true. My friend is the type who is very concerned about her reputation. Should I tell her what I saw? — Shocked Friend Dear Friend: We assume if you can see Frank’s Facebook page, your friend can, as well, and probably has. (It is unlikely he would block her access but not yours.) What she does with her boyfriend is her own business, and if she objects to the posting, she will tell him. We think you should stay out of it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to a letter you posted from Jenny Scala, a director for the professional floral business. I appreciate your giving equal time to different points of view, but I found it rather selfserving that someone who profits from having flowers at a funeral should stand in judgment of the wishes of a deceased loved one who might have preferred donations to charity. Flowers at a funeral are nice, but one or two arrangements are more than adequate. Asking guests to donate is so much more worthwhile than flowers that will wither and die. I wholeheartedly support donating those same flowers to hospitals after the service. — Incredulous E-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737-Third Street, Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Without being self-serving, you should be able to advance your interests by focusing your efforts on endeavors of prominence. Take on something big. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Surprisingly, your intuitive perception could be one of your greatest assets. If you get any strong, persistent hunches, it behooves you to play them whenever you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You’ll be much happier and more comfortable around people whose likes and dislikes parallel yours. If at all possible, stay away from those who think differently from you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Don’t do anything foolish, but if you must take some kind of calculated risk in order to improve your lot in life, it behooves you to do so. Give it a try when you get positive signals. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you’ve been a bit sedentary lately, try to include some form of physical exercise or activity in your life, such as taking a brisk walk with a pal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Something beyond your control that you’ve been wishing would change might undergo a transformation all on its own. Fortunately, you’ll like what transpires. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You shouldn’t have to be told that all agreements or contracts you sign must be able to stand the test of time. Make sure the
terms benefit all parties involved, and you’ll come out ahead. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Fortunately, it looks like success is indicated in most of your endeavors or involvements right now. Happily, the wins that could be the most productive pertain to your security and earnings. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Pattern an endeavor in which you’re presently involved on something you did in the past that proved to be successful. If it worked well once before, it’s likely to do so again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This could be a good day to tackle several projects that you’re trying to complete. The reason: You’ll find a way to tackle them all at the same time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you’ve been considering getting involved in a new enterprise or project, it might be now or never. Postponing it any further is likely to cause you to completely discard the idea.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Marksmanship has been a part of soldiering ever since the musket became the primary weapon on the battlefield, and competitions have existed almost as long. The Okanagan Valley’s own Army Reserve unit, the British Columbia Dragoons, recently sent two of its best shooters to the British Columbia Rifle Association (BCRA) Service Rifle Provincial Championship. Those shooters were Master Corporal Graeme Barber from Vernon and Corporal Sean Sil of Kelowna. Their experience levels differed greatly; Sil had participated and shot well at the 2011 competition, and had been offered a tryout position for CFSAC (Canadian Forces Small Arms Competition). Barber, a veteran of overseas operations, had little experience in the world of competitive shooting, apart from the brief practice the previous week. This would be the second time the BC Dragoons
would participate in the competition, and the challenge was on when they arrived into the largest competition the range had seen for years. Only slightly more than half of the 90 competitors were active members of the military. RCMP, Vancouver Police Department (VPD), Army Reserves, and civilian shooters all rubbed elbows and talked shop as the matches progressed. It became apparent very quickly that the skill level present was very high. The shooting matches were scaled in difficulty from low to high, and separated onto different relays, meaning Barber and Sil wouldn’t see each other until the end of the day. The excitement levels remained high all weekend as results were posted on the “wailing wall,” and heads shook in disappointment beside high-fives as shooters checked their scores. By the end of the team matches, and with the BC Dragoons having headed a composite team, it had been a very good weekend. The composite team had beaten out the competition, to finally fall to some superb civilian shooters in the final of the falling plate match, but did well at the moving target from 200m. By the end of the day, Barber was 40th overall, Sil 46th. There was one surprise remaining, however. In match four, Barber shot 48 with five “V Bulls” out of a possible 50 and 10, placing first in the match and bringing home a first to the regiment, the British Columbia Regiment Trophy.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TWO LOSERS ARE FINE; THREE ARE COSTLY Doug Coupland, a Canadian novelist who popularized the term Generation X, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seemingly smooth.â&#x20AC;? When playing bridge for money, those who are losing often overbid, trying to recoup their losses. They would do better to go home. Winners, not losers, should be pushing. In this deal, though, Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem is how to avoid four losers during the play. South is in four spades. West leads the diamond four: ace, king, seven. East takes the spade queen with
his ace and continues with the diamond queen. What should declarer do? The three-spade overcall isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t textbook, because the suit quality is not ideal, but it would be the choice of most experts. The 7-41-1 distribution has extra trick-taking potential. Note Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raise to four spades. He correctly did not bid three no-trump, when he might have had to win every trick from his own hand. What was Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead? Presumably either a singleton or low from a tripleton. In the latter case, there is no danger, but what if West is itching to overruff? Here, if South ruffs low, West overruffs and shifts to the heart eight. East wins and leads a third diamond,
promoting another trump trick for West. The defenders take one heart and three spades. Instead, South should discard his heart at trick three, cutting the communication between the defenders. He then ruffs the third diamond and is overruffed, but wins the next trick in his hand, draws trumps and claims.

A Loving Tribute To Bill We would like to take this opportunity to pay a tribute to Bill Kennedy who passed June 11, 2012 surrounded by friends and family. For those who never had the privilege of meeting Bill, he was a true gentleman, with a gift of making everyone feel at ease in his presence. Bill was a warm, generous and kind man, an inspiration; a mentor, a very loyal colleague and a good friend that always greeted us with a smile and took a genuine interest in our lives. Words cannot describe how much the staff at Capri Insurance will miss Bill, and it is hard to imagine not seeing his smiling eyes again or looking forward to hear his infectious dry sense of humour. Finally we would like to say what a great privilege it has been to have worked with Bill for several years. He changed so many lives for the better, a light has gone out of our service, but his memory will live on. You are already missed Bill. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and extended family. From All Your Family at Capri Insurance

Sharon Ann Wurmann December 13, 1938 - June 17, 2012 After a weekend of visits from all of her children and grandchildren, Sharon passed away peacefully at Riverview Health Centre. Sharon had been struggling with Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy (PSP) since 2005 and although we are deeply saddened by her passing, we know she is at peace. Sharon is survived by her husband Erich, daughters Karoline, Kirsten, Hannelore (Steve), Heidi (Geoff), grandchildren Isaac, Max, Atli and Ruby, and her brother Craig and sister Sandy. She is also survived by family and friends throughout Canada and Germany. Sharon was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on December 13, 1938 to parents William and Margaret McNamara. Sharon grew up in Winnipeg, graduating from Grosvenor Elementary and Kelvin High School respectively. She obtained her Bachelors in Arts and Social Work from the University of Manitoba. She completed her Masters of Social Work in 1964 also at the University of Manitoba. After completing her undergraduate degrees, Sharon hit the road with two close friends, Barb and Linda, and traveled Europe. It was while hitchhiking in Ireland that she met Erich (her “far too good looking” future husband) at the Ballygally Youth Hostel over porridge in the early morning. Sharon and Erich were married on August 29, 1964 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. With barely two dimes to rub together, they headed off to Churchill, Manitoba with big jobs and big dreams. During the ensuing years, Sharon was busy raising four daughters and living in Whitehorse, Yukon and Germany where she embraced the language and the culture in true Sharon style. Sharon was a relentless force who continued to ripen with each passing year and experience. She began her working career with government and then stretched out on her own, starting up a private practice in Edmonton, Alberta run by a group of MSW therapists specializing in childhood sexual abuse. Sharon traveled throughout the Northern communities offering counseling and running training workshops. Sharon and Erich retired to Vernon, BC in 1995 where Sharon continued to work with her practice for a number of years. Once fully retired, Sharon began her social justice work with the Raging Grannies and the Vernon Women’s Resource Centre. It was here that she found her “new” political voice. Music was a large part of Sharon’s life. From choirs and school performances in Winnipeg to campfire sing-songs with her family to community protests and events, Sharon never stopped singing. The service for Sharon will be held Friday, June 22, 2012, 2:00 p.m. at Thomson Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, Sharon’s family asks that you make donations to Cure PSP (www.psp.org), the West Central Women’s Resource Center (Winnipeg), or a women’s centre near you.
